Today we’d like to introduce you to Bicycle Inn.
Bicycle, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
We (Noah Aguiar, Declan Moloney and Joshua Carrascal) all met through Waters Church’s youth ministry worship band about 2 years ago. We had been playing together for awhile and decided one day to take it further and become an band. (Pretty funny going from a youth worship band to an emo band.) Originally called “Cheap Coffee,” our first ever song “I’m Fine, She’s A Wreck” debuted at Joshua’s (Who was still in High school at the time) talent show. Declan and Noah didn’t attend the school and won (haha).
We then shortened the name to “Coffee” and a few songs later, got our first big show at The Met in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. After, changed our name yet again to Bicycle Inn. All of these transitions and moves for us were within being a band for a few months and we wrote and recorded our first EP “Reruns.” Since that time, we’ve have had opportunities to play shows with bands like, Belmont, Grayscale, PINE, CityCop, The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die and release two singles (House Fire & Clear My Head). We have gone on tour with friends of ours in a band called, Familiar Spaces to Pennsylvania and New York. Currently, a new EP is being mastered, music videos in the making, more merch and shows, and a new tour in January.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
We three are born again Christians, however our music doesn’t force a message of our faith. Rather, it reinforces how important it is to us personally yet, balances a real world life. Not at all afraid to talk about it, but our music is made to relate and show people we don’t have everything together. Everybody goes through struggles and each struggle is important. Our goal is to make a genuine connection with listeners, whether in personal story similarities or through the melodies of each song. Each song is a vulnerable glimpse into our own lives. Everyone deserves to feel they are understood or at least know someone is listening. That’s what we want to reciprocate, a conversation about mental and physical health, struggles, loss etc. Our hope is that anyone who hears a song can hear that message clearly.
Have things improved for artists? What should cities do to empower artists?
It’s easier to get connected in recent years because of the social media boom. In our local music scene, we support one another and post/repost things for each other in support of new music/tours/merch etc. It’s easier to connect to fans and listeners as well. In turn, getting in contact with new labels and up-in-coming bands has become a little easier but with varying success. in some cases with local acts, plays and social media presence receives more attention than word of mouth or seeing bands play live. Yet, the signed band collection has become a buffet of cool and unique acts which hasn’t happened in a long time in our genre.
Outlets like these give smaller bands an opportunity to reach a wider demographic, gain follows and listens; all the while spreading their message. Consistent updates like new music pinned on cites like this one and news outlets really keep the new music flow going and show that the artist is “still doing things” and progressing in their art; giving listeners and inquirers something to look forward to and update them.
